i don't really have anything to add but have a bump.

1a. Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators)
I do a SGTools check for activated games and multiple wins.
1b. Do you check if the winner already has the game he/she won from you?
Absolutely.
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
Sometimes. It's the most discouraging thing here to find out that they have not activated it, so I don't always do it.
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
Not at all. They can play the game whenever they feel like it.
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted bij the winner?
Never even thought of checking that and have no plans on starting in the future.

1a. Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators)
Usually I do it, it's not like it's too time-consuming, or anything...
But I do it only out of curiosity, in the end I'll send the gift anyway.
1b. Do you check if the winner already has the game he/she won from you?
This is always the first thing I check, especially for bugged packages/DLCs.
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
I check it, after they mark the gift as received.
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
I'm curious to see if they played it, so I'll check it, but only after some time has passed.
It makes me really proud to see that my gift was appreciated!
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted by the winner?
I never thought of this, to be honest. I don't think I'll do it, though...

Is the winner a woman?
a. If the winner is a man, then I just send him the gift.
b. If the winner is a woman, then check below.
If the winner is a woman, is she good-looking?
a. If she is not good-looking, then I just send her the gift.
b. If she is good-looking, then check below.
If the winner is a good-looking woman, is she straight?
a. If she is not straight, then I just send her the gift.
b. If she is straight, then I send her nude pictures of me, hoping that she will accept them and that I won't have to send her the gift too. Fear me, female winners. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1a. Yes. I check activated, multiple wins. Just out of curiosity, the site already enforce those rules.

1c. No. If it´s marked received, my part is done.

1a. Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators)
Yes, using SGTools.
1b. Do you check if the winner already has the game he/she won from you?
Yes, by checking the winners Steam games and I do this also for DLC and I check for multiple wins using SGTools.
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
Yes I do that after the winner has marked received, a couple of days later using SGTools.
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
No.
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted bij the winner?
Yes, since I was recently blacklisted by a level 8 after this user entered my giveaways first and then blacklisted me after entering, I now do a simple blacklist check for each and every winner. To date I have found at least 6 winners that have me blacklisted and at the same time are entering my giveaways. Not anymore they don't (those six) but there could be other such backstabbers out there, so I do check.
1f. Saying thank you!
I do appreciate a thank you from the winner as one can never be too lazy, too busy, too in a hurry, too entitled or too rude to not do the proper thing. It's no more than basic good manners 101. It's painless, costless and it only takes a handful of seconds to post a thank you in the giveaway thread were you won a gift. Bundled and unbundled games don't grow on trees. I have blacklisted for not saying thank you and especially even some higher levels as they are here long enough to know this and they really should set the example for the newer/other users.

do you bl them also if you found them or do you do anything else?
Comment has been collapsed.
It depends Yoshi I mean, if they can be stopped by using my standard SGTools requirements I don't. But if they can enter my group, public or SGTools giveaways then I blacklist them.
Also since I have 38 users on my blacklist, I check before I enter any giveaway that I don't enter giveaways from users blacklisted by me.

I do bl them too, but they can get off by lettling me off too:)
For the rest I dont use the bl
(only 6 for the trading part who were very rude one wished me that some Syrian refugees would come to my house, that one will always stay on it)
But for the rest I'm going to use sgtools from now on

The main reason that my blacklist is light (38) is that I use SGTools.
I'm sorry to hear that Yoshi, unfortunately there are indeed some Religion, Gender and Sexual Preference racists on SG, just blacklist these and focus on the majority of SG users that aren't like that.

1a. Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators)
Yes, I use sgtools to check them.
Once I had many giveaways end the same time, to my surprise 80% of the winners have at least 1 un-activated win.
1b. Do you check if the winner already has the game he/she won from you?
Yes.
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
I used to, but not anymore.
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
No.
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted by the winner?
No, but I think I will check this in the future. However it's hard to check this if they don't have any public giveaways.

In the beginning I did check everything, but I got very tired of making giveaways (like I told Sleepycat its too much work to make giveaways this way)
Then I decided I had to choose or to stop making giveaways or not to care what the winner does with game
I chose the last option
What do you check when someone wins your giveaway?
1a. Do you check if the winner activated all his/her wins (so also giveaways from other creators)
1b. Do you check if the winner already has the game he/she won from you?
1c. Do you check if the winner activated your giveaway game on steam?
1d. Do you check if the winner plays the game he/she won from you?
1e. Do you check if you got blacklisted bij the winner?
1f. .......................
